GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Great staff! Teachers are encouraging and helpful. Wonderful coaches. Small school for big minds. Many clubs and sports to join.

Overall, I enjoyed attending Parker High School. I had a good experience and I had many opportunities available to me— opportunities that probably wouldn't be available to me in a larger school.

The teachers are impatient with those who are not from their families or those or people who have not attended the school since the beginning.
